Since we opened our doors in 2000, the community we have loved to serve has shown us nothing but kindness, and it has never been more abundant or important than over these past few months. Our gratitude to each of you is inexpressible.
When we posted our story following the vote not to renew our lease, we never expected so many people to advocate for us. Whether it was signing the petition, sharing our story with others, coming in to shop, or expressing a kind word of support, you have been such a comfort to us during one of the darkest times of our lives.
There are especially no words to express our gratitude to the 35+ volunteers who worked tirelessly with us to meet the unbelievable timeline of closing our business and leaving in just 57 days. We could have never done it without you.
Friends from nearby neighborhoods and many hours away selflessly sacrificed their time to help, often coming after a long day of work at their own jobs. Ages ranging from early twenties to early eighties, these gracious and kind individuals truly were a lifeline of support in this painful and nearly insurmountable task. We are grateful to each one of you. You have shown us grace and compassion when it seemed to be non-existent by those around us, making egregious demands and decisions. Thank you dear friends - some we’ve never met, but all we will never forget.
